Aboard the Arcada

At the beginning of the game,you need to find what’s going on. Use the eye to look at yourself and find out who you are. Look at the flashing sign, the body on the floor, and, just the wall to see what’s going on.

Now that you’ve looked at this location, let’s go elsewhere. Click the walk icon. Click the left of the floor. Roger will go into the next room. Look around, smell, and taste to find out what’s happening. This can help you find clues. If you hear footsteps, go to the next screen, then back.

Go to the left into the next room. You will soon see a dead guy on the floor. Look at him, then use the hand icon on him. When Roger searches the body, he’ll find a keycard. To see or use it, click the inventory icon on the icon bar. You will see the keycard and 2 buckazoids. You need those later in the game. Turn back around into the room that you were just in.

A man should limp in, then fall on the floor. Look at him, then use the hand icon on him. With one last gasp, he will say a word. He’ll look at the cartridge area, then fall on the ground. Use the eye on the cartridge computer. Then, use the hand to use the computer.

A keyboard with code will appear. Type in the word the man said using what’s below:

If you enter what the man said correctly, a robot should give a cartridge to you. Press exit. Go back left and through the elevator. Once on the next level, go into the door. You’ll find the star generator missing!! You’ll see something red on the side. Use the hand on it. Roger will pick it up and find that it’s a widget.

Exit the room and go right. Keep going until you get to an elevator. Go down the elevator. If you hear footsteps go back up, then back down. Go to the right onto the next screen. You’ll probably hear footsteps so hide behind the giant mouse. Once the sariens leave, go right, to the next screen. Use the hand on the two orange buttons.

Click open bay doors. Go into your inventory, and click on the keycard. Click OK. Put the keycard in the slot next to the elevator door, and go down the elevator. On the wall, you’ll see a closet, and a drawer. Click on the drawer with the hand.

Roger will open it and find a gadget inside.He’ll take it. Click on the closet with the hand. When it opens,you will see a space suit. Click on the space suit with the hand, and Roger will put it on.

Click on the door on the other side of the room. Roger will go to it, and the door will open. Roger will go through. A pod will be ahead. Click the hand on it, or walk to it (but be careful not to fall off!!) Click on the seat belt that is just above you shoulder.

Then,above you, you’ll see a few buttons. Click on them with the hand to look more closely. Click the right button. The pod will power on. Pull the throttle.(the handle in front of you. You’ll blast off the Arcada before she blows.

Now that you are floating in space in a pod, you don’t have to worry about exploding. Click above your head where you turned on the power. This time, click the left button. The is the auto-nav button. A screen will pop up that says kerona on it.

Then, in a blast of rainbowy color, you’ll crash on Kerona.

Crash on Kerona

Once you crash, unbuckle your seat belt by clicking the seat belt strap. Roger will exit the pod. The door will be open. Click inside the pod. Roger will take the survival kit. Go in your inventory. Click the hand, then click the survival kit. You will find a Xenon army knife and a bottle of dehydrated water. You will need these later.

Exit your inventory. At the front of the pod, you’ll see a piece of cracked windshield. Using the hand, click on it. Roger will take it. Walk east. Then, walk south. You will see pink plants. Use the hand on them. Roger will pick them up.

Caution: Those plants take a while to pick up. Be in a safe spot so you don’t get killed.

Go south again, then east twice. You will come to bones. Climb up. Keep climbing. A spider droid might appear but you are safe. Keep climbing until you see glass. Use the hand on it. As Roger walks over, he’ll fall down an elevator.

You’ll be in a cave. You’ll see a spike with purple around it. Click on it. Roger will grab it. It’s a stalagmite. Now, walk to the right. You’ll see a grate. Walk pretty close to it but not too close! A monster will pop out.

Now, go into your inventory and throw the pink goo. It will get the monster stuck. You can now pass without harm. You will now come to a pink door. You will also see something steaming on the side. Stick the stalagmite in it. The door will open.

Walk through the door. DO NOT TOUCH THE POOL OF GREEN ACID. Go left. You will see a laser beam. Take the piece of broken windshield and put it in the laser. It will shut off.

Walk up and right. I’d save your game. You’ll see acid raining down.If you time it correctly you will pass through. Once you pass,save again. Now, go into your inventory. Use the hand on the Gadget to turn it on. Keep walking right.

Soon, you’ll come to a dark room. Then, a hologram of a face will appear telling you to defeat Orat. You’ll get thrown back to surface. From here, go right, and right again. You’ll come to a skull. Go inside.

This is Orat’s lair. You will see Orat. Quickly, take the water from your inventory and throw it at Orat. He will explode. A small piece of him will be there. Pick it up.

Exit the skull. Go south and climb up the bones again. Fall down the elevator. You won’t need to do anything(except go through the acid rain.) Turn the gadget on(if it isn’t already). Go to the room with the hologram. He will ask if you have any proof of defeating Orat and to drop it before him if you do.

Drop the piece of Orat in front of him. A door will open. Roger will go through. You will be in a room with strange equipment. A lady on a platform will tell you to go in the skimmer. It will bring you to the other side of Kerona. When the lady leaves, use the hand on the computer.

You will be told you need a cartridge for it. Put the cartridge from your inventory in. It will tell you to enter a code on the star generator. Write that code down. Then, get in the skimmer.

It will ask you if you want to play the arcade sequence. This doesn’t effect game-play. Choose one. And, you’ll be on your way to the Ulence Flatts.

Ulence Flatts

Once you are at the Flatts, a mysterious looking man will look at your skimmer. He’ll ask for the skimmer and will try to make a deal with you. Say no. He’ll walk away. Now, look in the skimmer. The key will still be in the skimmer. Use the hand to take the key out.

Enter the rocket bar. Get a beer. Then, a blue dude will be using the slot machine. Wait around and walk near him. Soon,he’ll die. When he does,put the widget on the slot machine. Even if you only have 1 buckazoid,put it in. Play till you have at least 200 or 300 buckzoids. With the widget,you always win.

Once you have lots of money, get more beers. Once you have enough,you get tipsy and hear a guy talking about seeing the sarien ship. He’ll say he was cruising along a sector. Write the sector he said down. He should have said a sector that is listed below:

Now,save and exit the bar. When you exit, the dude who wanted your skimmer will make another deal. This time, say it’s a deal. You’ll get a jetpack and he’ll get your skimmer. Now,go around to the back of the bar to droids B us. When Nav-201 appears on the screen, buy it.

Now, Roger will go to pick up the droid. Then, go to Tiny’s. Talk to the guy. Now go straight forward from you view. Buy the ship with the ladder. Get in it. Your droid will already be packed. Fly away. Then,a red beggar will yell at you for taking his ship.

Once your in the ship, up in space, you will be asked for a destination. Using the list of codes up above, put in the sector that the guy said at the bar. You’ll see a sarien cruiser. The robot will ask to turn back. Say no.

You’ll slide on your jetpack, and go out onto the Sarien cruiser.

The Sarien Cruiser

You’ll be floating outside of a door. To enter, use the control panel on the left. You’ll fly in. Now, wedge yourself in the corner of the door so you can’t be seen. Wait until a robot comes in. Sneak out the door before the robot sees you or leaves.

You’ll be in a new room. A crate will be in the middle of it. Use the hand on it to push it. Take the knife out of your bag and click on the vent above the crate. Roger will get on the crate and pry open the vent. Then, he will crawl in.

In the vent, crawl up the ladder, and up into the next screen. on the next screen,You’ll see a vent about halfway up the next ladder. Go to the vent and use the hand on it. Roger will kick it open and into the next room.

In this room,you’ll hear someone coming. Use the hand to open the door of the washing machine. Then, get in. A sarien will throw their clothes in with you. You’ll get thrown around and you’ll come out with a sarien officer outfit.

Look down on the floor near the machine. You’ll see an ID card. Pick it up. Now, go right. A sarien officer will come out of an elevator. Take the left elevator up.

At the top of the elevator, go left to another elevator. Ride that elevator up. Now go left, past the garbage droid. Soon, you will encounter a room with the star generator on it. You will be on the higher level so keep walking left.

When you walk to the next room, you’ll be in a weaponry room. The robot will ask for your ID card. Give him the ID card you got from the machine. While the robot gets your weapon, open the little door to the other side of the counter. Then, take a grenade.

Be sure to wait until the robot is completely gone, or else he’ll come back instantly and you won’t have a chance to get the grenade. Once you have the grenade, go back to the other side of the counter and wait until the robot comes and gives you a pulseray gun. Now exit the weapon room.

Just outside of the weapon room is the star generator room. A strong guard is in it. Right above him, drop the grenade to knock him out. Once you’ve knocked the guard out, go left.

Go left again. Click on the elevator. Your helmet will fall off. The garbage droid will pick it up. Now, follow the directions I’m giving you, but if you encounter any sariens, use the pulseray gun on them.

When you get up, take the elevator you clicked on down. Go right. Go right again into the star generator room. Use the eye on the guard. You’ll see a remote control on him. Take the control.

Take the control from your inventory and click the star generator to shut off the forcefield around it. Use the hand on the panel just below the star generator. Put in the code that you got from the cartridge back on Kerona.

This will set off the self-destruct sequence. Go left to exit the room with the star generator. You will see the elevator that you came up on. Go down it. Use the gun on the sarien at the bottom.

Go down the elevator that is next to the one you just took down. Enter the escape pod. You will leave the sarien cruiser right before it blows!!

Watch the ceremony as you get the golden mop (and the girl. Wait! There was no girl! Dang it!) . Give yourself a pat on the back. You did it!!!!!!!
